Intentional slight on his part He has a

the inquiry of Rustem Pasha, whether the
British government inspired the articles in
the London press, urging the porte to join
England and Austria instead of alying her
self with Russia in the Bulgarian dispute, the
earl of Iddesleigh referred the Turkish am-
bassador to the fact that the British press
enjoyed the fullest liberty of utterance, re-
gsriless of the views of the government
The artics in question, however, were
not inspired, but the government and
the people of England shared the views they
expressed. The porte believes it would be a
misstep on the part of Turkey to act with
Russia alone, and Will now seek solution of

THERE seem to be but few politicians

THERE seem to be but few politicians
in the state with any pretensions to prom,
inence who have not been mentioned in
connection with the vacant senatorship.
Immediately after Logan's death, it lock-
ed af if Oglesby would be prominent
candidate, but the old man has protested
SO repeatedly and emphatically that he is
not in the field, that the feeling is grow
ing that perhaps after all be may be sim
cere. although most people are still in,
clined to be skeptical. At any rate it is
certain that if the legislature is looking
for the man who will be the most useful
representative of this great common
wealth in the United States senate,
Logan's mautel will fall upon some one
else than old Dick. 1t is the general be-
lief, and in this opinion the ARGUS con-
ours, that Charles B. Farwell of Chica-
go, is most likely to carry off the prize.
